Ahhh! I always forget about talk like a pirate day until I hear about it afterwards! Thanks for the reminder! Gonna have to arrange something now..
I am going to talk like a pirate and tell my favorite pirate joke.
A pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel down the front of his pants.
He walks up to the bar and says “give me a beer”. The bartender says ok and gives him a beer, noticing the wheel down the front of the buccaneers trousers.
After a while the bartender can’t stand it any and says to the pirate “hey bud, do you know you have a steering wheel down the front of your pants?”
The pirate says “y’argh, I do and it’s driving me nuts!”
I still remember when I was 7 years old, or so, and dressed up as a pirate for Halloween one year, in a costume my fantastic mother sewed for me, with her own loving hands.
I went to a house to request some candy and the nice woman there said, “You’re all alone! Where are your buccaneers?”
I told her, “They’re underneath my BUCKIN’ HAT!”
Hahah, Bri.. that’s my favorite pirate joke, too.
I’m with damien.. I always forget about it until after it’s passed. Maybe?
Bri, that’s my favorite pirate joke ever. I bequeath thee LURVE!!!
Cyndyh, thanks for the reminder. Aarrrgh! Where’s me eye patch…
Have you guys seen the new pirate movie?
Like I always do. Three guesses?
THanks guys. It’s fun to tell!!
Ha! Thanks for the fun folks, and you’re welcome for the reminder. If you come up with other things to do for this fun day please let me know. :^>
Last year I spoke like a pirate so much that I had a sore throat the next day. There is just something so fun about beginning every sentence with “Yargh!” and ending every sentence with ”...Says I!”
Argghhhh, matey, a full tot o’ rum, o’ course.
You are on fire tonight breedmitch!
Yarrrr, thanks for the reminder, matey!
For 3 years past, I have not heard of this fine, religious holiday until the sun has set and the day be over.
But this year, there be trouble in Davey Jones’ Locker!! YARR!!
(@brianreed; How did you find that. I looked and wasted lots of time before admitting failure.)
@Bri_L:Breedmitch…too many Brians here..you, Brian O’Sullivan, Brian Reed Mitch…
Ah: I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to answer something. hehe.
@gail: I searched “pirate day” and it was the last question but I could have also looked at Hossman’s profile since I remembered he asked it. I miss Hossman. :(
Me, too. He was funny, well-informed, clear and had gravitas.
Dan Blocker was on Fluther? Didn’t he die before the Internet existed?
Thanks for the reminder!!! I typically try to incorporate “Pirate-speak” into all of my (appropriate) conversations and emails!!! It’s a blast!
@ Waterbearer- your icon rules! Welcome to fluther
It is my birthday, so hopefully with cake!
@Ezra; Many happy returns. I will order a perfect day with the swamp maples turning red and the crickets sawing away at night. I hope that Friday is the one with no classes.
@ezraglenn: Cool! It’s my birthday, too. For me I’m sure there will be cake and a bottle to go around. And my kids are coming over with their respective sweeties. Anything other than that is gravy. Cheers!
